Mise-en-scene task

Image
In this picture we can see that there are two very different costumes: one which is very robotic and futuristic and the other that is futuristic but heroic as well. There are a few people who are wearing the same costume where their faces are hidden suggesting that they all do the same job and work for the same person. Their costumes have shiny metallic look enhancing the futuristic robot aspect of it. The other actor who looks like he is on a mission is wearing  long drape over his shoulders suggesting he is from another region than those storm troopers. That actor looks like he ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time suggesting he is a good-hearted  character. The lighting suggests that it is quite early in the morning for these people, but also the setting suggests that this has been set on another planet suggesting to someone who hasn't seen this film that it comes under the Sci-fi genre. Also, in the background, you can see these futuristic dystopian buildings enhancin

Funny Games (2001) The director is suggesting that this family quite modern and accepting of all sorts of music. The use of diegetic sound was important because the characters dialogue was in another language which gave the audience a better

Capital: Representation questions

To what extent do the  representations  in Capital reflect the  concerns of modern 21st century London life?   [25 marks] To some extent I agree that the representations in Capital reflects the concerns of the modern 21 st  century London life. Capital provides us with a range of representations that vary because of people’s social class, ethnicity and wealth. These representations focus on some concerns such as immigration, wealth and job security. Within the opening scene of the flash back, the audience are shown Petunia’s past and how things have changed since then. The passing of time suggests how society has changed and developed over the years and how London is now made up of several different cultures. London is presented as quite diverse and accepting of people with different backgrounds and suggests that this is because of the increase of immigration. During the opening scene, Petunia mistakes Ahmed’s ethnicity which suggest that the representation of Asian people i
